We wouldn't be terribly upset if Intel up and decided to retire its Celeron brand, as has been rumored on occasion. In fact, notebook players at one point were supposedly told Intel would gradually reduce production of Celeron chips in 2011 and replace them with Pentium and dual-core Atom N series processors. Based on Intel's latest roadmap, it doesn't appear the Celeron brand is going anywhere.
Fudzilla says it took a peek at the roadmap, which reveals at least two new upcoming mobile Celeron releases built on a 32nm manufacturing process and based on Intel's Sandy Bridge architecture. The first is the Celeron B815, a dual-core part expected to arrive in the first quarter of 2012. This one is clocked at 1.6GHz and has 2MB of cache. It supports DDR3-1333 memory, has a graphics core clocked at 650MHz (1050MHz Turbo), and 35W TDP. An even faster version is expected no sooner than Q3 2012.
The other Celeron part is the B720, also slated to launch in Q1 2012. This is a single-core processor clocked at 1.6GHz with 1MB of cache, DDR3-1333 support, graphics clocked at 650/1000MHz, and a 35W TDP.
